Chapter 093
Kiba already knew what would happen when he died, he would simply return to Konoha and couldn't enter until three days later.
So without much thought, he decided to trust whatever this power was and entered the "Zombie Dungeon".
Almost immediately, Kiba disappeared, revealing stairs that led into darkness in his place of appearance.
"Creepy..." he whispered, before straightening his shoulders and descending the stairs. Fortunately for him, as he walked, lit torches illuminated the staircase every few meters. Behind him, he heard the sound of grinding stone as the entrance sealed behind him.
Finally, he reached the end of the stairs, in a circular room made of roughly hewn stone. Lying in the center was a skeletal body dressed in rags, slumped over a wooden chest.
Entei barked insistently at Kiba.
As if there was something in that box that caught his attention.
Walking towards the skeleton, Kiba clapped before offering a prayer to the skeleton before gently taking the chest and opening it.
[You have acquired:]
[Boosting item: Fire Gem]!
[Do you want to equip this item to Entei?]
[YES]
[NO]
Pressing the 'Y' button, Kiba blinked as the gem seemed to teleport and stick to Entei's forehead.
He whistled at how cool his new friend looked.
He wondered if there was any way to see its stats.
[To obtain information about this item, open your Pokémon's Equipment menu]
Amazed, he did just that.
[Slot 1: Fire Gem (Booster Class): Increases attack power by 20% for Fire-type Pokémon]
Kiba didn't know how many times he would be surprised.
This was too unreal.
Do items that can enhance your physical and spiritual abilities really exist?
Normally, gems are one-time use booster items, meaning they enhance a move of their type only once, after which they are consumed and disappear. However, this was completely different from the normal gem.
After all, it was like a starter kit for Kiba and Entei, it couldn't be a disposable one-time use item.
Then...
He cautiously entered the main part of the dungeon and immediately faced one of the enemies.
It was a Zombie the size of a ten-year-old child, dressed in rags and holding a wooden club in one hand.
[Slave Zombie LV3]
He shouted in anger when he saw Kiba and charged forward with the raised weapon to attack.
"Nonsense!" Kiba sidestepped to avoid the club's blow, then struck with his own fist.
Unexpectedly, the zombie child reacted in pain to that punch.
But theoretically, that wasn't the goal.
The zombie child turned towards him, with a mix of pain, fear, and anger in its eyes as it attacked once again.
At this point, the familiar blue screen appeared in front of Kiba's eyes.
[Command your Pokémon to use Flamethrower]
Seeing the sudden increase in speed of the zombie child, as if it had some kind of fury, Kiba didn't hesitate at all.
"Entei, use Flamethrower."
Upon hearing the command, it was as if a new path opened up in the mind of the small dog.
He firmly placed his hind and front paws on Kiba's shoulder.
And an intense Flamethrower attack shot out of his mouth.
This time not in a spiral form, but like a kind of wave over five meters high.
Clearly, the effect of the gem was quite obvious.
The small Zombie didn't even have time to scream as the immense wave of fire completely covered and engulfed it.
Causing it to perish instantly.
[You have defeated a [Slave Zombie]! You gain 50 XP!]
The XP naturally goes to Entei.
[Do you want to loot the body?]
[YES]
[NO]
Pressing 'Y', Kiba saw a list being made on the blue screen in front of him.
[Dirty Tunic x1]
[Disgusting loincloth x1]
[Chipped club x1]
[500 Ryō]
All of them completely useless except for the money. It seems that I couldn't rely on getting useful things from the zombie slaves.
However, this caused another screen to appear.
[Do you want to sell these items for 1000 Ryō?]
[YES]
[NO]
"Damn right!" Kiba muttered and pressed the appropriate button with annoyance.
[Zombie slaves killed: 1/30]
"This is going to take a while," Kiba unconsciously said as he looked at this objective.
After his words, the usual blue screen appeared again.
[Pokémon are creatures of all kinds of shapes and sizes that live well in a semi-wild environment or alongside humans. They are your lifelong companion or theirs.]
Kiba more or less understood.
[There are different types of Pokémon, and Entei falls into the Legendary category.]
Upon hearing this, Kiba inexplicably got excited.
[On its journey to level 100, your Pokémon can learn countless special attacks and moves, with a limit of seven moves.]
Gradually, Kiba's mind cleared.
He understood that by not directly ordering Entei to attack Naruto with Flamethrower, Entei didn't really know what to do.
It only attacked instinctively when it saw its trainer in danger.
In the midst of Kiba's thoughts, the guides suddenly stopped appearing.
"Are there more zombies?"
He wondered as he continued walking through the filthy place.
Kiba had the mindset of a ninja ingrained in him since he was very young, so it didn't affect him that this was the first time he had killed someone.
Although it wasn't directly.
Over time...
He discovered, during his short stay in the zombie nest, that the slave he had killed had been one of the best-equipped members of the slaves. Most of the others wore loincloths and wielded flint knives.
"Wheeeeee!" a slave shouted as he attacked, knife exposed.
"Shut up, damn it," Kiba spat.
He found this scream very annoying.
[In addition to special moves, a Pokémon is capable of learning a not-so-complicated move on its own despite its low level.]
[Try ordering it this time "Quick Attack."]
Kiba nodded and ordered Entei.
"Use Quick Attack."
This time, the zombie slave's abdomen was torn apart due to Entei's attack.
He didn't even see it coming.
The zombie slave disappeared, dispersing into small particles and leaving behind fewer items than the previous one.
[You have killed a zombie slave! You receive 50 XP!]
[Dirty Tunic x1]
[Zombie slaves killed: 2/30]
[Congratulations, you have completed the first part of the tutorial. Complete the mission to move on to the next level.]
"Shit, this is going to take forever."
Kiba said as he looked at the huge and already familiar blue screen.
